Should your next building project feature a pre-engineered steel building or one made using tilt-up construction?

Pre-engineered buildings, of course, are known for their speed of construction and low initial cost. And buildings made with tilt-up construction are economical to build and are attractive to developers seeking investment-grade properties.

In North America, Tilt-Up construction is most closely associated with warehousing. The method’s reputation for combining speed and safety with cost-savings, durability and energy efficiency has made it a popular choice for the industrial and commercial market from coast to coast.

But for architects, Tilt-Up offers a wide palette of creative design options. Those who familiarize themselves with the method soon learn that site-cast concrete can build much more than big-box structures.
